My guess is that it has to do with Timett son of Timett seizing the Eyrie when the Knights of the Vale leave for the North, and the irony that he may have Arryn blood in him (and possibly dragonrider blood too, if the legends are correct).
When the Mountain Clans attacked Cat’s party in the mountains Tyrion thinks that they might spare Catelyn as she was still young enough to bear sons and they carried off one of the Arryn ladies as well I believe. Do you think that this is just something GRRM threw in or is it meant to be the darker less romantic side of going off and ‘stealing a bride’.
